What is this podcast about? What is Mindfulness? Let me share with you why as an athlete this is a podcast you should add to your weekly routine. As a former Division 1 tennis player and current High School Tennis and basketball Coach, I have had the chance to work with many levels of athletes and what I have found separates the very best from the average is the mental game. But nobody teaches that. Rather than preach and talk at you, I thought it would be best to go out and hear from the experts in the fields of Mindfulness, Meditation, Nutrition, Mental Health and Development and allow them the chance to help you learn how to become the best Student Athlete you can be. Now, even if you are beyond your Student Athlete years, there might be something in here that helps you either become a better model for the Student Athletes in your house or maybe you can be the best Weekend Warrior on the block. Either way, I hope you take a few minutes this week to listen to one of our podcasts. We will have new ones up each week and I am always looking for people to interview. So if you have ideas, send me a note and give me a suggestion. I am in this to help you develop into the Athlete you have always wanted to be, so let's do this together.
